A majority of the prisoners served only a fraction of their sentences because paroles and pardons were easily obtained. “One hundred eleven persons died while serving sentences, most of them from tuberculosis which was common throughout the territory. Of the many prisoners who attempted escape, 26 were successful and 8 died from gunshot wounds. No executions took place at the prison because capital punishment was administered by the county governments.
Despite an infamous reputation, the historical written record indicates that the prison was humanely administered and was a model institution for its time. The only punishments were the "dark cell" for inmates who broke prison regulations, and the "ball and chain" for those who tried to escape. Prisoners had free time during which they hand-crafted many items to be sold at public bazaars held at the prison on Sundays after church services. Prisoners also had regular medical attention and access to a good hospital.
Today, the estimated population of the Yuma is just under 200,000. This increases by more than 85,000 during the winter when the snowbirds roll into town.
